Product Description

Mount Maunganui Mauao Canvas Art — Bay of Plenty, New Zealand

Regularly voted New Zealand's best beach, Mount Maunganui runs its long white stretch beneath Mauao — the extinct volcanic cone standing guard at the end of the peninsula. This aerial photograph shows surf rolling onto pale sand with the mountain anchoring the entire frame.

Mauao makes composition easy: wherever you point a camera it insists on being in the shot, and the shot is better for it. The cone sits at the end of the peninsula as though it were placed there for photographers, with the beach Kiwis keep voting the country's best running away beneath it.

Original aerial photography by Matthew Philip

Personally shot by Australian aerial photographer Matthew Philip on a DJI Mavic 4 Pro. Its 100MP Hasselblad camera records the surf, the sand and Mauao's bush-covered slopes in exceptional detail — holding land texture and moving water in equal sharpness at every print size.

An unmistakable silhouette

This piece brings fresh Pacific blues, white surf and a genuinely iconic outline to a wall. It suits living rooms, bedrooms and baches beautifully, and resonates immediately with anyone who has done the summit climb.

New Zealand's beaches carry their landscape with them — and nowhere more proudly than The Mount.

Available as a fine art paper print or stretched canvas, with black, oak and white framing options across a full range of sizes. Every artwork in the Matthew Philip collection comes from his own aerial photographs of places he has personally visited and flown.

About The Location

Mount Maunganui makes composition easy — wherever you point the camera, Mauao insists on being in the frame, and the frame is better for it.

The extinct cone stands at the end of the peninsula like it was placed there for photographers, with the beach Kiwis keep voting the country's best running away beneath it. I flew along the surf line with the mountain anchoring the shot.

The 100MP Hasselblad on the Mavic 4 Pro caught the texture in Mauao's bush and the surf in equal detail. The Bay of Plenty delivered exactly what it is famous for: clean swell, white sand, that fresh Pacific light. New Zealand's beaches carry their landscape with them.

Frequently asked questions

All canvas prints on this site are made to order—I print each one specifically for you using museum-quality materials, which means a 3–4 week production and delivery window within Australia. This isn't a warehouse clearance; it's a custom-made product crafted to last decades. If you're ordering before a specific date, get in touch and I can often prioritize your print. Free shipping applies Australia-wide, and you'll receive tracking so you know exactly when your piece is arriving.

Paper and poster prints ship much faster—typically 1-2 business days to anywhere in the world, with free international shipping included. If you need your aerial photography print urgently, this is the best option. The paper is archival-grade (same fade-resistant, professional-quality stock I use in gallery prints), so despite the quicker turnaround, you're not compromising on longevity.

Canvas prints ship ready to hang with your choice of frame style at checkout: black, white, or natural oak. Each frame is specifically designed to complement the composition of the aerial photography and arrives attached and ready to display. If you prefer an unframed print, that's available too—giving you the flexibility to source custom framing locally or match existing décor. Paper prints come unframed but can be ordered with frame recommendations included in your package.

Canvas prints are stretched across 390gsm acid-free poly-cotton matte canvas—the same archival-quality material used by professional galleries and museums for fine art. The inks are fade-resistant and non-toxic, rated for 100+ years without noticeable color shift when kept out of direct sunlight. Paper prints come in three finishes: matte (museum-grade), semi-gloss (vibrant), or fine art paper, all archival-rated. As a Perth-based aerial photographer who has shot every image on this site, I've invested in materials that will outlast the trends—your print is an investment in something that lasts.

Canvas and paper prints are low-maintenance. Keep them away from prolonged direct sunlight (which fades any print over decades) and humidity extremes. If dust settles on canvas, a soft, dry, lint-free cloth does the job—no cleaners needed. Paper prints benefit from framing behind glass or acrylic, which provides UV protection and makes them virtually maintenance-free. Both formats are designed to age gracefully; many customers report their prints looking exactly as vibrant 10+ years later.

I stand behind every print. If your canvas or paper print arrives damaged, the colors aren't right, or anything doesn't meet your expectations, contact me immediately with photos. I'll remake it or refund you—no questions, no process. This isn't just a returns policy; it's a commitment to your satisfaction. Email matt@matthewphilip.com and we'll resolve it within 48 hours.
